Ah right. Thats not it then, unless Magnus is not Alvars dad but his granddad or something.

The type of ship would however be right for that age. It looked a bit like the Cutty Sark, I think, and guess what, that one was built in 1869!

I wouldn't be so sure it was heading to Oz. After all, the Nigerian plane was....well from Nigeria! As Eko said - "Half a world away" [or did he say a WHOLE world]

Anyways, I remember reading somewhere that these ships were still being used today - in other parts of the world. But that was ages ago, and I can't remember the details..

Ye that was only for western oz it said, might have been different for the rest, i'm not sure on all the facts.

Not only is it difficult to pin a 'date/destination' on the BR, but how it got so far inland is also a 'big-ass' mystery

Yeah, you're right. Somone asked this in Exodus. How did it get there.

Just had a brainwave.

You know the "Lost" sign falling from the sky.

Well, Rocco said something on another thread along the lines of "is it falling from the sky or is it coming from the depths of the sea".

What if thats what the island did, and it picked up the Black Rock right there and then.

Is there a Nobel Prize for theories on Lost? Will someone nominate me, please???

[Nickeshi]

I heard a theory that the island was under water for ages and the BR ran aground on it and then the sea levels dropped and there it is!! (ye i thought it was stupid too )
